Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Ensures device availability and prevents failures through predictive diagnostics
The most valuable feature of SOTI XSight is its Mobile Device Management (MDM) capabilities, which provide visibility on all devices and help ensure 100% availability by preventing failures. If a device fails, productivity decreases, so ensuring they are operational is crucial. The remote control and diagnostic features save time and expenses related to sending people on-site for support. Furthermore, the ability to predict which device needs attention based on log files, thereby preventing incidents, is highly beneficial.

Effective product tracking and monitoring enhances daily operations despite needing documentation improvement
The documentation part of Workspace ONE UEM can be confusing. The documentation is not comprehensive compared to other VMware solutions or Microsoft documentation. Most people struggle to connect the dots when looking at the documentation. Even the training material and PowerPoint slide decks that trainers use are sometimes too confusing or overwhelming, with too much content but not enough clarity. The support side has recently become weaker compared to what it used to be with VMware. This is another area that needs improvement. Since working with Workspace ONE UEM from when it was AirWatch, it has improved significantly over the last five years. However, there are still some gray areas and scope for improvement, especially in documentation and workflow between different aspects of the solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The security-related tools are excellent; these features allow us to secure devices, lock them down, and ensure compliance."
"The biggest asset is the range of device management options available with Intune, whether it is a Windows device, a Linux device, a Mac device, or mobile devices."
"Intune's most valuable feature is its centralized management capability."
"Intune is valuable for managing various endpoints and integrating with the Azure cloud, which is essential for our organization."
"What I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that we can manage multiple devices simultaneously in a single frame of time, and I can manage everything remotely from anywhere."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"The ability to (somewhat) manage full Windows 10 computers including EXE-based or MSI-based application deployments using Azure Active Directory as Identity."
"The graphical user interface within SOTI XSight is intuitive and much more beautiful than traditional SOTI MobiControl."
"I recommend SOTI XSight to other businesses because it ensures device availability and helps avoid operational delays that could impact revenue."
"We find it to be reliable."
"This product enables us to replace all existing stores PDA running windows CE with iPod touch."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly."
"The solution includes support for remote work. It also features identity management. This setup supports our users remotely by providing default monitoring and tunneling into our environment, eliminating the need for additional VPN software to access backend applications and staff resources."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"The feature that we find most valuable is the corporate email pushing."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is the support for multiple devices. Not only iOS, and Android, but all kinds of platforms, including VR device management. Additionally, it has a tunneling feature, which no other solution provides. Other solutions have to integrate with other tools to have this functionality, whereas VMware Workspace ONE has its own application gateway tunnel."
 

Cons

"Management of Linux devices from Microsoft Intune would be great. Then we can manage any device and not only Windows and Apple."
"There are a few security features that are not available in Microsoft Intune, when compared to other products."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"The product needs to upgrade itself when the server is overloaded."
"It would be better if they can reduce the cost of the license."
"I have faced stability issues with Microsoft Intune plenty of times, but I think it's part of the process."
"The solution can have some compliance problems in general and the end-point user can bypass easily the company policies in Intune."
"It would be interesting to integrate the server side of Intune. Some group policy updates we have on the Windows Server side and possibly some on the client side could also be included."
"The subscription model could be improved, as it is not familiar in the Southeast Asian regions."
"The technical support by SOTI is only average."
"The pricing could always be better."
"There could be ease of integration within the environment. I didn't have any issues when using it, but the integration part was a bit difficult for the other team."
"VMware Workspace ONE sometimes has bugs that prevent it from working as intended or expected. Generally, these bugs can lead to unexpected results and hinder effectiveness."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"We're unhappy with the quality of support we get for it. We're unhappy with how upgrades occur, so we are migrating away from it."
"The solution needs to adapt to the cloud based reality of the current world model. Some customers may have reluctance to this, but it is the next level for all of the big providers. Azure, AWS and Google are all on the forefront of cloud-based solutions."
"The accuracy of the management function has room for improvement. It's important to us because sometimes we send a profile to the machine and it's pending but doesn't reach."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Intune is fair."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"Cost is not my department, but the product is included in the E5 license that we already pay for every user, so no additional cost is incurred."
"It's a bit expensive from a licensing perspective, especially as we look to have organizations with tenants across the globe."
"Microsoft Intune is more expensive than other solutions, but it offers a wider range of features and control."
"They have categorized the licenses according to the size of the business. So, if it's a smaller organization, we can choose the license accordingly. If it's a big organization, then we can choose accordingly. Everything is clearly mentioned, and we can decide. It's suitable for all kinds of infrastructure, and that's very goo"
"For Microsoft 365 E5 clients, cost is not an issue as this product is one of the benefits."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
Information not available
"The tool is expensive."
"While it is not inexpensive in terms of price, it is definitely worth it."
"I think the pricing of the product needs advisement. It would be great to bundle the VM products together. I think the actual box itself should be included in the license. At present, it is not paired with the mobile device."
"VMware Workspace ONE is expensive."
"We pay approximately thirty to thirty-five euros per device per month for the complete suite, and this is a fixed cost with one, three, or five-year licensing in advance. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, making it affordable."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"Its pricing was okay for our company."
"Depending on the requirements of users, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
